Summary

Souder Elementary in Everman, TX, serves 315 students in grades 1st through 5th within the Everman Independent School District (Isd), a district where nearly all students (97.46%) come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. While the school has historically ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, it stands out as a top performer within its district, significantly outperforming nearby campuses like E Ray Elementary (6th percentile) and John And Polly Townley Elementary (10th percentile). In fact, Souder is tied with Hommel Elementary and just behind Bishop Elementary as one of the top two elementary schools in the district, making it a relative bright spot for families in the area.

A key strength at Souder is mathematics, where students consistently outperform the district average by wide margins. For example, in 3rd grade math, 49.18% of Souder students were proficient compared to just 33.55% district-wide. The school also shows a notable ability to support its African American students, who ranked in the 48th percentile statewide in 2024-2025—far above the school's overall rank. However, there is a significant gender gap, with female students performing in the 40th-45th percentile while male students have struggled, dropping as low as the 7th percentile in recent years. Additionally, 5th grade science is a major challenge, with only 4.55% of students proficient, reflecting a district-wide crisis in science instruction.

When compared to the nearest charter option, Uplift Ascend Prep Ps (just 0.2 miles away), Souder provides a stronger educational foundation despite serving a more economically disadvantaged population. Uplift Ascend Prep ranks in the 5th-10th percentile and has lower proficiency rates in nearly every subject. Souder also appears to use its resources efficiently, spending $11,893 per student—less than district peers like Hommel ($12,978) and Townley ($14,310)—while achieving comparable or better results. For parents in the Everman zone, Souder Elementary offers a solid, if imperfect, option that outperforms both its district peers and the nearby charter school.
